  • Language Question

    Hi,

    I need to know what "ayah" means--my father called his grandmother that but does it mean grandmother or is it just a form of affection? Would be Western Armenian.

    Are you sure it wasn't "yaya"? Greeks use it too.

          Hi,
          Ayah is from Indonesian language, and means father.

                Babam in Turkish means "my father". "Ohfff babam" is a sign of frustration.
